This is a place for me to rant, vent and screw around.

Details

I love designing websites. I’m lucky enough to have a job which affords me both lots of free time, and a descent living. I’m originally from New York but moved to Northern California when I was a wee-babe (well five). I’m on the tall-side (5′9″) and have long short (I chopped it all off…13″ of it, in the summer of 2008!) brown hair and hazel eyes.

Other tidbits…I use to wear glasses. I’ve had them since I was 16 but in 2005 I had laser surgery to correct my vision and am loving the results. I went from barely being able to read the big E at the top of the chart to 20/20 vision. I’ve had two other surgeries in the last few years. The first one was on my right wrist to remove a cyst that was causing me a lot of pain (made it difficult to work) and the second was on my right knee to repair a bunch of damage. For the first time in 10 years I have no pain when I walk! I CAN’T BELIVE IT!!! Well, nothing else exciting about me I’m afraid. I love to travel and read and live a fairly boring and uneventful life.

The love and hate and such lists

I love me some web design, movies, classical music, the ocean on a stormy day (this is sounding a bit too much like a personal ad!), writing, traveling, snow, reading (especially lesbian mysteries), photography, being an aunt, diet coke, chocolate (unfortunately!)

Not too thrilled with bigots, godbags, hypocrites, really bright days, coffee, liver, the patriarchy, spam, cleaning my house, hot days, the democratic party

Listening to mostly classical music, but I really love industrial or electronic music as well. I love Vivaldi especially his Cello Concertos, Android Lust and Fading Colours plus Kirstin Price, Loreena McKennitt, Nick Cave, Tori Amos, Regenerator, Attrition, KT Tunstall, The Ditty Bops, Melissa Ferrick, The Killers, Sade, Lunascape and Ladytron. A lot of the time I listen to nothing at all. Especially when I’m driving in my car and have too much on my mind. Silence is sometimes the best music of all!

Reading mysteries mostly, as well as sappy lesbian romance novels (I live in hope!) I also enjoy books on politics and history. I’m actually a big fan of novels that are set during the Victorian era or the Renaissance era.

Watching not much of anything these days actually. I’m into Battlestar Galactica right now and Sanctuary. I enjoy British comedies like Little Britain and the older series such as Chef, The Vicar of Dibley and Keeping Up Appearances. In general, I’m a big fan of SciFi shows. I constantly have a Law & Order episode on in the background while I work. A few other shows I usually DVR and then delete, Bones, House, Women’s Murder Club (which is no longer on!), Life, Fringe and British mysteries such as Walking the Dead, Wire in the Blood and Cadfael.

Random nothingness I have a sneaky cat (I am not suppose to have animals where I live) he’s nearly 13 and he’s a very quiet cat. First, I not longer have to be sneaky with my pets because I bought a house. Second, my lovely Sammy died in the summer of 2008. His heart began to fail on him creating fluid build up in his body and when it got to be too much for his little body I had to put him to sleep. That was fucking hard. I loved that cat. I also have a huge gold fish named Flash (I feed him too much)… Flash died when I changed the bowl. My nephew, sweet kid that he is, was determined to win me a new fish at the local fair…and he did! So, new fish Goldie aka Flash II is not as fat yet but I’m working on it. Flash II died as well. All the fish have died. I’m not going to get any others any time soon. When my sister and I moved in together she brought over her son’s turtle and her cat. We recently have been talking about getting a dog as well. I miss having a dog. I’m pushing for a Lab.

I have no desire what-so-ever to bare children but I would love to raise one, or two with someone someday. I do consider myself a co-parent to my nephew these days as well. Love that kid.

I’ve been to Beijing, Greece, England, Italy, Switzerland, Spain (my sister and I had a blast in Spain!), Ireland and France. I’ve also been to a number of states in the US. Aiming to hit Alaska some time next year. Hopefully before it all melts away. My dream trip is 2 weeks in New Zealand!!

Everything you need to know about me in one handy poem.

You said you only wanted to hold me
But the dog screamed
And the fish flipped summer salutes
In the kitchen
As I gave away my heart
To ice blue eyes
Dancing through the majestic landscape
Of a never ending torment of rain
Luckily I caught my reflection
Downed a bottle of aspirin
And told my mom I wasn’t coming
Home for the last supper
Just needed to stop at the quickie mart
For a super big g and a box of rice
Then things would be okay

My Bloginality is ISFJ

About the subtitle

The subtitle of my site is a reaction to this post. If some dimwit fucktard can walk around with a shirt that says ‘dead women can’t say no’ then I see no problem with my counter of Dead Men Can’t Rape.
